Also, Axial Age in History, more resonance

[grladams at teleport.com]

My earlier posting might not have been read by this thread, so I'll add
this here. It's text from TRP III's Chemical Forces. 
526 
"When the rapid motion of a wheel results in producing great heat in the 
axle, there is a great retardation in the motion of the wheel, exactly 
equivalent to the degree of heat excited in the axle." 

As I read the http://tinyurl.com/28l62z text from the p522-530 or so I saw
words lifted out and put into the middle chunk of the novel, from "vital
force" elan vital to Leclanche cells to other apparatus and assumptions
about science...

in that spirit, how about the "Axis of Evil" and also
the "Axis" powers?
